Re: converting to 32 bit long form

Do you have any examples of what you're trying to accomplish?

Re: converting to 32 bit long form

if i enter 153.18.8.105 the o/p should be 2568095849....for separation u can use strtok for separating.....

Re: converting to 32 bit long form

Use strtol().
One of the things it returns is a pointer to where it got to (ie, the dots between numbers).
This you use to locate the start of the next number.

Re: converting to 32 bit long form

You mean that
2568095849 is (153 << 24) + (18 << 16) + (8 << 8) + 105

It's just a loop, with a shift and and add.

Re: converting to 32 bit long form

Well it would do, if you were storing the result in an unsigned char say. All the bits fell off the end!

It needs to be in an unsigned long before you shift it left 24 bits.
